I think we need to have some minimum specifications for what a "computer" is, especially as corporations are dumbing down devices while telling us they're smarter than ever. For me, a computer is something where you can create and run programs directly on the device, without needing to hand off anything to a cloud service, remote desktop, or require permission from an app store. No local development environment = not a computer. If your device can't do it, you have a PDA. No shame in that. I have an e-scooter; I don't call it a car.
